Marc Garneau WILL Run As A Liberal In The Next Federal Election - Buckdog Acknowledges

In a Buckdog post on September 26th, entitled Marc Garneau Kisses Liberal Party Goodbye, I reported that Marc Garneau was expressing frustration with the Liberal party and was not going to run in the next federal election.

I have deep respect for Marc Garneau. I respect him a lot. I am also of the opinion that there was a fair bit of political skill used by someone to convince Mr. Garneau to reconsider. It is important for Canadians to have individuals who are knowledgeable in the fields of science sitting in the House of Commons!

I think Mr. Garneau has the ability (because of his experiences off of the planet) to be able to think in much larger terms then most of his caucus colleagues would be able to. I wish he was a New Democrat, but I will be happy to see him in the House of Commons as a Liberal.
